What Can Botox Treat?

Temporomandibular Joint Problems (TMJ)

Botox has been shown to be effective in relieving patients of pain associated with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders. Although the direct cause of TMJ disorders can be hard to pinpoint, the symptoms often include pain or tenderness in the jaw or around the ear, headaches, pain while chewing, and even lockjaw in more extreme cases.

Botox targets the TMJ muscles, causing them to stop contracting and relax, which often allows the whole TMJ system to realign and work in harmony, relieving you of your TMJ-related pain.

Facial Pain, Jaw Pain, Headaches, and Migraines

Besides its contribution to cosmetic dentistry, Botox can be used to reduce stabbing facial pain, jaw pain, headaches, and migraines. Essentially, Botox relaxes the muscle, which blocks impulses coming from the brain. This then alleviates the perception of pain.

Dental Bonding, Shaping & Contouring

If you are interested in a non-invasive procedure that can revive your smile, dental bonding may be a great fit. The procedure only takes about 30-60 minutes per tooth. Your dentist will begin by applying a color-matched dental resin, designed to blend in with the rest of your smile. The resin will be carefully sculpted into your desired shape before hardening it with a UV light. This reinforces the look, feel, and function of your grin.

Enameloplasty is a cosmetic procedure that shapes and contours the teeth, it is performed during a dental bonding. During this process, a thin layer will be removed to achieve your desired shape.
